I just completed installing the Ignitor II and Flame Thrower coil. When I went to start the car, the engine cranks but does not start. I had already installed new plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. What should I do to troubleshoot the problem? Thanks.

I just installed an electronic ignition to replace the points.
First mistake was hooking up the wires wrong even after reading the instructions. The pertronix wires hook to the coil +(IGN) and the coil -. The module grounds through the distributor. I hooked mine between the coil - and chassis GND like the points would. This was incorrect. |
